[QUOTE]On June 5, Zachary N. Bearheels was en route from South Dakota to visit his mother in Oklahoma City when he was stopped by police outside a gas station in Omaha, NE. There, Bearheels—whose mother claims suffered from manic depression and schizophrenia—was reportedly Tasered a dozen times and punched multiple times in the head while being loaded into the back of a police vehicle. Half an hour after medics arrived on the scene, Bearheels was dead.

Now, Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer is recommending that two of the four officers involved in Bearheels’ death be fired from the force.[/QUOTE]

Getting fired isn't enough, they should be tried for manslaughter at least.

Jfc why the fuck would you beat a man over the head, the tazing I could understand as a legitimate measure (not in this case) but police aren't supposed to be throwing fists around. Firing should be the least of these fuckers' concerns.
